A very serious loss hit the world of writing, cinema and entertainment on Christmas day. In fact, on December 25th the actor passed away forever Richard Franklin. Colleague and friend Liam Rudden announced the death with a touching post on social media.
Born in London on 15 January 1936, Franklin studied at Westminster School and, before dedicating himself to an acting career, served in the Royal Green Jackets and Queen Victoria's Rifles.
Precisely as regards his acting activity, he studied at Royal Academy of Dramatic Artwhere he also won several awards.
In the first years he dedicated himself almost exclusively to theaterwhich he never abandoned even when he started working on television.
On the small screen he first appeared in 1969, in the role of Joe Townsend in the soap opera Crossroads.
Richard Franklin, however, owes much of his practically international success to his role in the cult TV series The Doctor Whoin which he played the role of Captain Mike Yates.
The actor passed away as said on Christmas Dayat the age of 87, just days before he turned 88.
